2024 Prayer Focuses

As we behold Him, we become like Him

2 Corinthians 3:18

These Prayer Focuses are a direct result of communal listening and discernment. We are convinced that as we lean into prayer for this coming year and look to partner with the things that are on His heart, the Lord will respond with grace, kindness, and breakthrough.
